Email a Friend Add-ons for Traffic
Many bloggers think it’s important when you’re trying to get backlinks and traffic to have a way for your readers to send your blog url to a friend. There are some great plugins for Wordpress and some good scripts out there that can achieve this function on any blog or website. On my blog I have used Gamerz’s Wp-Email for quite some time. It works really well for posts and pages and can be incorporated through the addition of a simple line of php code.
Recently, I wanted to put a similar call in my sidebar so visitors could share it via email from the sidebar. I looked for about an hour for the right script until I found one that worked just right for my blog. If you’re looking for more readers, one way to help that along might be through “email to a friend” blog add-ons. Have you used these on your blog or site yet? If not, why not give ‘em a try. Is this a purely promotional item? Not totally. If this blog had promotional products like pens or fridge magnets, they’d be about you. I think everyone can achieve their dreams if she/he puts their mind to it and that’s what IU try to spread through this blog.

I use the popular “share this” button at the bottom of my posts…a person can stumble it, digg it, fave it, email it, or post it to a number of places all with one click :) I like that it doesn’t take up much space. It would be interesting to see if there are stats anywhere on which ones are the most used.
